Latvia returns to U18 elite

Sorokins’ new-look roster triumphs in Riga

Latvia made an immediate return to the top division after winning the 2018 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship Division I Group A on home ice at Arena Riga.

The Baltic nation wrapped up the title with a game to spare, winning its first four games in a competitive group. After some surprise results in the early stages, notably newly-promoted Slovenia’s 3-2 win over Denmark and Germany’s 1-0 verdict against last year’s runner-up, Kazakhstan, that consistency was enough to settle the destination of the gold medal. Going into game four against the Danes, Latvia knew that victory would bring gold. After an early scare, the host ran out 4-1 winners thanks to a trio of third-period goals before 2,200 fans.

That result ensured that only Germany could match Latvia’s tally of 12 points, and the head-to-head meeting between the countries had already ended in a 3-1 home win. Again, though, Latvia had to battle to get the win. The Germans took the lead with a power-play goal midway through the first period: Yannick Valenti converted a power-play chance when he collected the puck on the boards and surged forward to fire home from between the hash marks.

Latvia tied it up before the first intermission thanks to a breakaway goal. Glebs Prohorenkovs released his HK Riga team-mate Patriks Marcinkevics and the move ended with a well-placed shot from the left face-off spot.

The home team hit the front for the first time in the middle frame with Marcinkevics involved again. He won the puck in the corner, turned away from his opponent and sent a delicious feed onto the stick of Vladislavs Barkovskis for the 2-1 goal. Deniss Fjordorovs added a third in the 49th minute, taking advantage of the extra space during a passage of four-on-four play. He took Ernests Osinieks’ pass into German territory and used the decoy move of Gustavs Millars to split the defence and allow a shot that gave Florian Mnich no chance in the German net.

Having secured its gold medals, Latvia went on to complete a perfect record of five wins from five games thanks to a tight 2-1 success over Kazakhstan on Sunday evening. Osnieks scored on a 5-on-3 power play to cancel out Yernar Musabayev’s early opener for the Kazakhs, then Millars grabbed the winner in the 56th minute. Kazakhstan’s defeat cost the team a bronze medal.

This year’s Latvian team was almost completely fresh. Incoming head coach Olegs Sorokins, a much-travelled defenceman in a playing career that began in 1991/92 and only came to an end last season, shuffled the pack. Only goalie Janis Voris returned from the roster that was relegated in Slovakia a year ago, and he impressed in a tournament where he allowed just two goals in his three starts with an SVG of over 96%. He was voted Best Goaltender of the tournament while two Germans won the other awards: Moritz Seider as Best Defenceman and Yannick Valenti as Best Forward.

In general, it was the defence that impressed on the host’s side: the tournament’s scoring leaders came from Germany, which scored 22 times in five games with Valenti potting five of them and Taro Jentzsch leading the scoring with seven (1+6) points. No Latvian player made a big impact on the scoring charts, but the team had 14 different skaters with at least one point over the course of the tournament.

Germany took silver behind Latvia, with Denmark grabbing bronze despite losing three of its five games. The Danes tied with Kazakhstan on six points, but the head-to-head verdict went their way thanks to a 4-2 victory when the teams met on Thursday.

At the foot of the table, Slovenia dropped to Division IB despite a promising start to the tournament. A narrow 1-2 loss against the host was followed by a 3-2 victory over Denmark to give the Slovenes a great chance of staying at this level after last season’s promotion. However, it all went wrong after that: Slovenia lost its next three games by big margins, including a crucial 0-5 loss against Norway. That was the Norwegians’ only success of the tournament, but it ensured a head-to-head advantage over Slovenia and kept them in Division IA for another season.

    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
